  • Publication number: 20230215511
    Abstract: An apparatus includes at least one processor configured to obtain multiple spatiotemporal population projection models. Different spatiotemporal population projection models are associated with different pests, diseases, or biocontrol agents. Each spatiotemporal population projection model defines how the associated pest, disease, or biocontrol agent spreads and contracts in a growing area over time. The at least one processor is also configured to receive information associated with an actual presence of a specific pest, disease, or biocontrol agent at one or more monitored spatial locations in the growing area. Different monitored spatial locations in the growing area are associated with different plants. The at least one processor is further configured to project a future presence of the specific pest, disease, or biocontrol agent in the growing area using the spatiotemporal population projection model associated with the specific pest, disease, or biocontrol agent.
